Device: eb1150 & is that a nook in her pocket, or she just happy to see you?

wow !! this is great news !!! and i have to say, i am REALLY impressed that sony is offering this solution. nicely done, sony ! i'll be really interested to hear whether the update is software only or hardware ; i was under the impression the 500 hardware wasn't able to render epub for material reasons. but, if igorsk says those can be fixed by re-partitioning the flash, then that would explain it.
